BASTILLE DAY MASSACRE At least 77 dead in France terror attack as lorry ploughs through crowd for a mile before driver opens fire, by Tess de la Mare.
A lorry ploughed through crowds “like a bowling ball” for more than a mile as families and friends watched the annual fireworks display on the streets of Nice.
The truck driver was said to have shouted “Allahu Akbar” — God is greatest — before being killed in a gun battle with cops.
The religion of peace strikes again. How are our dopey PC elite going to shrug it off this time? Isn’t it ironic how they call me a “denier” for pointing out that their carbon dioxide theory of global warming is not backed up by evidence, yet they deny that Islam is a threat to us?
Police said guns and grenades were found in the vehicle alongside the driver. Dozens of victims were seen lying injured on Promenade des Anglais along the city’s famous waterfront. Other petrified revellers threw themselves in the sea to escape the carnage. …
It was the second worst terror attack in French history, behind November’s atrocities in Paris.
The white lorry was reported to have mounted the pavement at about 40mph and steered directly towards men, women and children, some of whom were still dressed for the beach. …
As the lorry speeded up, police marksmen were seen shooting at the windscreen, killing the driver.
What goers through the minds of of our PC political class when they hear of yet another rape or massacre by fundamentalist Muslims? “Yes! These are the people we want to import into our society! Our ugly little racist western population whom we have only contempt for will be in for it now!” Presumably not, but you’ve really got to wonder sometimes.
Hey! At least Hillary Clinton won’t brazenly blame this on lack of gun control.

French president denounces ‘monstrous’ killing of 80 people, by Bonnie Malkin.
Witnesses said the driver was “zigzagging” so he could hit as many people as possible. It was reported that he drove into the crowd for 2km at a speed of about 50km/h.
Some told of parents frantically throwing their children over fences to avoid them being struck by the lorry as a “stampede” of people rushed down the Promenade des Anglais.

It’s far easier to act as if critics of Islam have a problem with Muslims as people than it is to accept the uncomfortable truth that Islam is different.
